Each message is printed by the very act of transmission, in clear Roman characters, and as so transmitted is delivered without further process, to the receiver, thus absolutely ex cluding all possibility of error between the sender and the receiver. The automatic nature and simple working of the Bonelli instrument renders it independent ofl specially trained, and therefore highly paid manipulators. The charge will be 6d. for twenty w irds. The necessity to which all other telegraphic establish ments are exposed of increasing the staff of operators in pro portion with the augmentation of business, does not exist, and, consequently, any increase of business must prove al most absolutely clear profit. Prospectuses and forms may be obtained from the Bankers, Brokers, Solicitors or Secretary, at the Offices of the Com pany. Each application must be accompanied with a deposit of £1 per share, which s ill be returned without deduction it no shares are allotted. From the date of issue until the final closing of the lists the Bonelli instruments may be seen in operation daily from Twelve to Four, at 7, Angel court. T HE NATIONAL SHAKESPEARE MEMORIAL BUST.

A Field-Marshal and a Peer of the realm at the end of his life, the poor Scotch lad who had for many years stood in the cold shade which was afterwards lightened up by such unusual sun shine at last received every honour his country could bestow on him while living. A nation mourned him when dead. The nobles of the land crowded round his grave, and beneath the roof of Westminster Abbey, when he was borne to his rest, they stood shoulder to shoulder with the soldiers who had fol lowed their chief to victory. It is needless to reca pitulate the incidents of a life in which the events were only recorded under the name of famous vic tories or the unregistered procession of yearly ser vices till the magnum opus was accomplished, and India was subjugated to the direct rule of her new Empress. But in all his long term of soldierhood Colin Campbell, who never made an enemy, except of those whose friendship natures like his should shun, and who never sought a friend whose enmity honest men should not avoid, was, we venture to say, the most complete exponent of a British soldier's interests, feelings, passions, emotions, as he surely was the most remarkable exemplification of the cer tainty of recognition which opportunity gives to professional excellence. If he was especially proud of the bonneted battalions whom be led in the Crimea and in India, there was no General so prodigal of praise to all when it was deserved, and so ready to censure his favoured legions when he thought die praiee was deserved. Englishmen, Welshmen, Scotchmen, and Irishmen he includes in the words " British soldier," and no one ever better knew the character of that composite being than the ci-devant subaltern of the 9th Foot and the Colonel-in- Chief of the Coldstream Guards. It would be exaggeration to describe his military attributes as genius; it would be injustice to designate his military acquirements as short of consummate sol diership. No man ever rose above the level of his fellows to whom a national monument on a become ing scale was more fully due. The sight of such a work would be an animating incentive to the sol dier, and a gratifying acknowledgment of the value of services in the field. The imputation which rests on us to a certain extent of neglecting the more sentimental agencies by which men are wrought up to great deeds would lose its smallest basis if such "-meetings - as that which assembled to set the Clyde Memorial on foot were more common. It is only of late years, however, that the idea of doing honour to the dead by the erection of statues in public places has been expanded beyond the claims of royalty itself, many concessions to which had been better left unmade. Mural monuments and tables in cathedrals and churches, urns and columns in birthplaces and the like, were our most general forms of expressing gratitude to men who fell in the service of their country, or secured signal national triumphs. We all know how crowded our cathedral walls are with graceless monuments, brasses, and slabs which are a transient wonder to the tramping crowds of country visitors, and leave no elevating or ennobling impression on any one's mind. A few statues to great statesmen entended to solitary confinement in secluded squares do not redeem the character of our metropolitan art from the status to which the effigies for the most part of Royal personages reduced it. The Duke of Wellington's signal and cardinal services, so much above any performed by a subject, occurred at a time when more liberal views began to prevail respecting the honours to be rendered to eminent men. An ques trian statue was rarely, if ever, accorded to even the most illustrious, but there could be no exception taken to the right of the deliverer of Spain and of the victor at Waterloo to such an honour. A man who saves an empire is fairly entitled to the highest salvage the empire can bestow. Subsequently, military and naval statues became more common in public places, and " the finest site in Europe" was rapidly occupied by the monuments which even he who runs away cannot help seeing. At the public meeting, where it was resolved that a subscription should be opened for the Clyde Memo. rial, there was a universal feeling that a statue should be erected to the soldier who had closed an extraordinary series of services by giving peace and security to India, and snatching the Eastern Empire from the grasp of rebellion. It so hap pened that the meeting, though attended by many most eminent and illustrious persons, necessarily took place at a time of year when the town was nearly deserted. The subscription then opened was large, but the operations of the committee were circumscribed by the unavoidable absence from London of many who admired the character of the deceased Fieldeellarshal. Above all, the season of furloughs which was at hand prevented the appeal to the army, from which the largest results were ex pected, as Colin Campbell was, above naturally mos t captains , the soldiers' friend, and was one of whose labours every man in the service might feel proud. In pursuance of the resolutions agreed to at the meeting that a statue should be erected to Lord Clyde's honour in the metropolis, the committee placed themselves in communication with Baron Marochetti, who furnished them with a design for a monumental statue, which has obtained unquali fied praise from the best judges. The next step was to obtain a site which should be appropriate in all respects for a statue which promised to be a public ornament, and a fitting record of one who, in the language of the Duke of Cambridge, "exhibited the talents and acquirements of a great commander, who had done eo much honour to himself, and conferred such lasting benefits on his country." It was with much satisfaction the commit tee obtained a promise that a site would be granted outside the' limits of the Parade Ground of the Horse Guards, close to the entranco to the Perk ; in en open and conspicuous place, where the statue could be seen by the public. The subscription list was, as we said, large on the part of the meeting, but there are still names which one looks for in vain on the list, Granting that Glasgow is about to erect a monument of her own, there is a lack of Scotch subscripticn3 which cannot be accounted fur by the Glasgow collection. It is true India has not remitted its quota, which is sure to be considerable, and the officers coming back from leave and the cessation of furlough at this season will, we trust, swell the amount very largely. Nevertheless there is necessity for exertion, in order to raise the amount to the 8,000 guineas which will be needed fax the due am- THE LATE LORD ASHBURTON, Two days ego, in a country churchyard in Hamp shire, the last duties were paid to the remains of Lord Ashburton. Although he sat for many years in Parliament, and once held a post in the Govern- mint, his prominence in political or official life would not have justified a notice of his public career. As he was deficient neither in ability nor in the ordinary ambition of Englishmen of rank and for tune, he would probably have contended for the prizes of Parliamentary life, but for a weakness of voice which disqualified him from succeeding as a speaker, His judgment was unusually exempt from the influence of prejudice, and his language, though it was wanting in rhetorical ornament, was •:- remarkable for precision. There is always, how ever, a succession of Ministers and candidates for office, and Lord Ashburton had no reason to regret the circumstances which led him to stand in the outer circle of the political arena. He would have administered a State department with efficiency and credit, but his gifts were perhaps better employed in discharging and illustrating the duties of a wealthy and accomplished nobleman. None of his contemporaries of similar position more habitually recognised the obligations which are annexed to the possession of a great estate. His house was a centre of the best society of his time, and his pecuniary aid and personal services were always available for the promotion of schemes which promised social or economical advantages: He had learnt at Geneva, where he received the part of his education which he remembered with most gratitude, to take a strong interest in the progress of physical inquiry, and al though his own scientific acquirements were not considerable, he took pleasure in the society of chemists and geologists,and in watching the progress of their discoveries. His opinions on economical questions, and on subjects connected with popular . _ education, were more independent and original. Some of the addresses which he delivered at public meetings, or as president of different associations, were distinguished by suggestive thought and con- densed propriety of style. In a speech at Winchester, on the method of teaching the first rudiments o: knowledge so as to give the most effective cultiva. on to the intellect, he first used the phrase o: common things," which for some years afterwards became almost proverbial in popular dihcus3ions on similar topics. When he acted as President of the Royal Agricultural Society, he showed with much force and feeling that the art of farming had ad vanced more rapidly than any other industrial pro cess. In a short speech in the House of Lords on the India Bill he summed up with remarkable effect the arguments against the proposed abolition of the East India Company. His defects as au orator taught him to abstain with instinctive care from any waste of words and from idle commonplaces. His few public speeches singularly resembled the well known addresses of the Prince Consort. It was repugnant to his tastes and habits of thought to appear before an audience unless he had something of his own to say. The Prince himself fully appreciated the modest sagacity of Lord Ashburton's intellect, and the singular refinement of his character. Another friend of Lord Ashburton's was Sir R. Peel, who appointed him Secretary of the Board of Control. There was probably no house in. which the Minister felt himself more thoroughly at his ease, cr where he felt a pleasanter recollection of the gaiety which was seldom suspected by strangers. After his death, Lord Ashburton passed through Liberal Conservatism into alliance with the Whigs, whose doctrines he had to a certain extent held in his youth. He was a Free-trader before the true theory was universally adopted, but ho loved to dwell on the limited and insufficient range which he ascribed to political economy. His disposi ion inclined him to utilitarian views, but whenever lie had occasion to adopt a rule of conduct he was uni formly practical and moderate. He had counted among his friends some of those who were formerly called philosophic Radicals, and he always re tained in some degree the trace of their opinions. His divergencies from received theories were, how ever, merely the amusements of a critical intellect, and this would never have interfered with his poli tical course if .he had taken an active part in public business. It was the habit of his mind to find some thing to sympathise with in all his numerous ac quaintances, and at the same time he habitually suspected the strict accuracy of the general propo sitions to which they clung. He had the faculty and habit of appreciating the most dissimilar characters and he delighted almost equally in the society of veteran politicians, of brilliant authors, and of re cluse men of genius. His connections had brought him much into the company of Americans, and he re ceived in his house the most eminent foreigners who visited England. If he had a prejudice, it was dis played in a kind of good-natured irritation against the narrow patriotism which assumes the uniform su periority of native persons and institutions. He was always ready to defend France, Russia, or America against unfriendly criticism. Yet it would have been easy to show that his own qualities could never have been so advantageously cultivated or employed as in England. It will be by his character rather than by his not inconsiderable powers of intellect that Lord Ash burton will be best remembered. There was a purity, a gentleness and delicacy, in his bearing and in his inmost nature, which can scarcely be re presented by description. In the common inter course of society, and in the more intimate relations of life, he seemed instinctively averse to thinking of himself. He never assumed an offensive superiority, or took a selfish advantage. Au entire absence of vanity, combined with uniform self-respect, enabled him without effort to consult the feelings of all whom he addressed. His splendid hospitality de. rived its chief attraction from the charm of a manner which was visibly the outward expression of a simple and gracious disposition. It is fortunate that in England there is room for many kinds of eminence, and the perfect representation of the best form of private life, especially when it is combined with the performance of many public duties, is no unworthy object of ambition. A century and a half ago Lord Ashburton's name would have been inscribed in dedications and,in complimentary poems, which might have expressed a genuine and disinterested admiration. Though fashions have changed, and though a more perfect civilization has produced habits of comparative reticence, it is not fitting that rare virtues should disappear with out a passing record. Some of the worthiest of Lord Ashburton's survivors will cherish his memory as that of one of the most faultless human beings whom they have known.—Times, Persons in debt may ob tain instant protection against Imprisonment or seizure of their goods, and an entire release from all debts and liabilities without publicity, by application to Messrs.

The manifest increase of fish within so short a period is greater in many waters than the most sanguine had anticipated. The approval by the coun try of the policy and principles upon which the recent legis lation is based has been widely established by the unde • niable reality of success, and it is satisfactory to find that many who were at first diepesed to doubt, and held back in apathy, have been led into active co-operation in adminis tering the laws, by the evidence which is now presented to them in the unquestionable form of ascertained utility. The zealous interest that has sprung up throughout the country in promoting the restoration of the salmon fisheries, which hive been nearly annihilated by grievous abuses, has stimu lated it:, quiry. Attentive consideration has been directed to the sutj',ct, and an amount of knowledge has been obtained which, as it progresses, enables people to see their way more clearly, reconciles them to principles which at first they were disposed to repudiate, and converts the former opponent of legislative measures into the strenuous advocate for obtain ing further aid from Parliament to enable the objects of the law to be more amply carried into effect." Mr. Ffennel has taken advantage of the experienced those who are interested in the question and have taken part in administering theexiet ing law, by issuing a series of queries, and thus collecting the opinion of the country from the answers returned regarding its present working, the results which have followed, and the additions or amendments, if any, which might be suggested, These queries and the replies he published in his report. The fishery question, he says, involves such a variety of matters, arising out of local and peculiar circumstances, that it is difficult, if not impossible, to meet the.n all by direct legislation in a manner so complete that the spirit or prin ciple of any Act of Parliament can be fully carried out, and he can see no way to overcome this difficulty except through the agency of an authority to make by-laws. This power, he thinks, might be defined in pointing out the object to which it should be applied and guarded by providing an appellant jurisdiction in the event of any attempt to exercise it in an arbitrary or unconditional spirit, recognieing it in a ministerial capacity only to carry into effect with integrity the declared and evident intentions of the Imperial Parlia ment. In the replies to the queries a marked unanimity prevails as to the propriety of compulsory rating to obtain funds for protection. A strong opinion is expressed in many of the replies, in favour of including the protection of trout with that of salmon, and Mr Flannel is strongly convinced of the expediency of such a step, Mr. Eden, the other in spector, suggests as a means of providing funds for the pro tection of the fisheries the imposition of a licence duty upon all engines used for the capture of salmon. An assessment upen all rateable fisheries might also, he says, be imposed. Some compulsory means of raising funds and of producing co-operation between the different interests to be found in salmon rivers, he believes, are absolutely indispensable. The punishment for offences sanctioned by the Act Mr. Eden thinks inadequate, and he also urges the propriety of im posing upon the owner of the eel fisheries the restrictions necessary for the protection of the salmon, young and old. The mischief occasioned by an improper use of the eel stages is exceedingly great. The fisherman has a right to set his stages; he is only trying for the eel or two which he may possibly catch, and if in so doing he destroys the pro duce of a whole year's care and expense on the part of the salmon fishery proprietors he does not care, and he cannot, as the law stands, be made to do so. But it happens from the habits of the two fish that the proper fishing of one can not in the least interfere with the other. The salmon breed in the fresh, eels in the salt water, and the former are run ning up the rivers when the latter are falling down, so that the restrictions recommended, Mr. Eden contends, would not entail the smallest hardship upon the eel fishery owners • r THE FATAL FIGHT AT BOLTON, An inquest was held yesterday at Bolton, on the body of Peter Murphy, aged 21, who was killed in Chapel street, Little Bolton, as stated in our impression of yester day.—Henry Tempest, butcher, stated that he was at a ball at the Baths Assembly Room on the night of the 28th inst. in company with Eli 'William Lever and several others. They all left the Baths about two o'clock in the morning. The deceased was intoxicated and very quarrelsome. Lever was also in liquor, but not so bad as Murphy. They went to the Museum, in Churchgate, and on leaving there about two o'clock in the morning, Murphy began to quarrel with a young man at the top of Bank-street. Lever desired him to be quiet, and said he would go home with him. Murphy, however, wanted Lever to fight, but they agreed to go down Bank-street, and went on arm in arm. Witness followed soon after, and heard they had been quarrelling in Brown street. When they got to Chapel-street they both stripped to fight, and Murphy called his father to come out and see fair-pley." The father came out in a few minutes, and his son and Lever were then fighting. The father called to his son, "Give it him." Murphy was knocked down by Lever, and his father, on lifting him up, said, "Ge at him." A second time Murphy was knocked down, and fell upon his back, and then his father took him into the house. He was bleeding above the left eye, and appeared to be insen sible. Witness was quite sure Laver never kicked the deceased. Mary Murphy, sister of the deceased, swore that she saw Lever knock her brother down, and thrn kick him twice; once on the left eve, where he was cut. She also states that her father did not encourage her brother to fight ; he wanted to separate them, and called out that his son was murdered. James O'Brien, a piecer, saw the party at the top of Bradshawgate about 5 o'clock in the morning, after they had left the Museum. Murphy was quarrelling with a young man, and when Lever told him to make less noise and go home quietly, Murphy chal lenged him to fight. They agreed, however, to have it out in Chapel-street, and went out down Bank-street arm in arm. In Brown-street they got to blows; and when Murphy was down Lever kicked him on the eye, and blood flowed from the wound. Catherine Fenwick stated that she saw the fight in Brown-street, and that when it was over Lever lifted Murphy up and held him over the rails of her cellar steps. Henry Peadlebury, a piecer, residing in Chapel street, heard the noise and went out. Murphy was coming out of his father's house, stripped, and his father followed him. Murphy struck first, and Lever returned the blow. They both kicked two or three times. Murphy was knocked down and Lever kicked him on the left eye. Murphy's father then lifted him up and said, " Go into him quick." Murphy then rushed at Lever,and they had a second round, when Murphy fell backwards and was unable to get up again. The father was encouraging and backing his son, but nobody appeared to assist Lever. Dr Carruthers stated that Ae had made a post mortem examination of the body, and found the cause of death to be effusion of blood on the brain. The body, in other respects, was perfectly healthy. Externally there was a ant above the left eye, a swelling and discolouration on the left cheek, and also on the neck. The effusion of blood, he said, might have been caused either by a blow or a fall. The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Lever, with an expression of their indignation at the conduct of John Murphy, the father of the deceased. The Fatal Accident at the Review. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Woods, ocroner for the western division of Surrey, opened an inquest at the Drummond Arms Inn, Albury, on the body of the Rev. Fred. Cuthbert Beresford Earle, minister of the Catholic Apostolic Church, founded by the late Mr. Henry Drummond. Lord Loraine, MX., was foreman of the jury. The Rev. Mr. Woodhouse (one of the jurors) stated that he had seen a c6mmunication addressed to the deceased by Lord Gerald Fitzgerald, the colonel in command of the Queen'sWestminsters on Monday last, stating that he was aware who the volunteer was who had fired the ramrod. Lord Fitzgerald stated that after the accident had occurred the ranks were gone down, and the rifles examined, and only one ramrod was found to be miss ing. Mr. Beresford Earle deposed that he was 8011 of the deceased, who was in his 60th year. On Monday last wit ness went to the review at about 9 o'clock in the morning, and at 4 o'clock the same afternoon, while at Blackheath, he heard that his father had been shot. lie then proceeded to the hospital, where he found his father lying upon a bed. The deceased stated that he had been shot by a ramrod, and that after pulling the pieces out of his person he fell down. He died in about 99 hours after the accident occurred. Henry Allnutt, paper manufacturer, of Chilworth, who volunteered his evidence, deposed that he was present on the ground at Blackheath on Monday last at about 3 o'clock, near the Grand Stand, Suddenly he observed deceased turn round and pull a portion of a ramrod out of his body. Addressing witness, deceased said, " This part of a ramrod has been fired into my stomach." Witness only saw one piece of a ramrod. Deceased stood still for two er three minutes after this; but he was unable to walk, and he asked witness to lay him down on the grass, and he did so. There was no blood visible, and there did not appear to be any hole in the clothes, so far as witness saw. Witness left deceased for a time to give information to some friends, and on his return ho found him placed on a stretcher. At the time deceased was shot there were several regiments drawn up firing volleys. Witness considered that both himself and deceased were imprudently near the firing party. In fact, they were within 20 yards of them. They were en closed, as it were, in a circle, and parties were firing con tinually around them. At the time when deceased was shot they were marching towards the Grand Stand, and the volunteers were between them and the Stand. Charles Ede, surgeon, who attended the deceased, said that the wound in the abdomen was a contused wound penetrating the cavity of the abdomen, and the probe passed in for about 2in. Mortification had supervened, and was the cause of death. The Coroner here suggested to the jury that the man who was supposed to have fired the ramrod should attend, and have the opportunity of offering any explanation. Mr. F. D. Ross, one of the hospital surgeons in attendance on the ground, stated that no less than four ramrods had been fired away on the day in question. A juryman stated that he had heard as many as 30 had been fired away. Several of the jurymen objected to an aajoumment ; but the Coroner was firm, and ultimately adjourned the further investiga tion to Zlonday week.
